Paint Protection Anyone?
Anyone masking their car for paint protection?
I was thinking of vinyl wrapping the entire car for $2000. I might as well right? |

Im doing the dealer option since cars get pretty banged up on track days without PP.

I'm waiting to see if Subaru comes out with a dealer option of their own. I may also contact my tint guy to see what price he comes up with.

If you are referring to the factory option, its the front up to about 18" or so above the hood line. I saw it on the FR-S in Long Beach. You had to look really hard to see it, but it definitely covers all the most likely damage areas.

I don't know what car I'll buy, but regardless I'm planning to use Optimum Opti-Coat so the paint is low maintenance.

3M came to do the measurements on the car. We still have to test fit and see if any adjustments are needed, but the pattern should be out for the FR-S before the vehicle's official launch

hm...how many of the first 86 are paying up for that protection? I think you(dadhawk) mentioned before that it was something that once seen, could not be unseen.

Except the whole front of the bumper! It's just hood tape and fenders, no?

Is it a full pattern? For the full Hood and fenders and bumper. Or just for that factory version which is just the bumper n part of the hood
